What to do and expect at swim meets?

Swimmers:
When we swim at HOME, our team warm ups are from 7:00am to 7:30am.
When we swim AWAY, our team warm ups are from 7:30am to 8:00am.
Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your warm up time to check in and write your event numbers down so you can remember which events you swim. Meets start promptly at 8:30am.  If you have not arrived at the pool and checked in by 7:45am YOU WILL BE SCRATCHED AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SWIM THAT DAY!
 
Parents:
When you arrive at the pool at any meet, make sure that you check your children in so that we know they are there.  Just look for someone at the entrance from our team with a clip board. 

You will need to keep track of the events/numbers they will be swimming.  Many parents will write the event number on their child’s arm with a pen to serve as a visual reminder of what they are swimming.
Heat sheets will be available for sale at the meets.  These allow you to follow the different heats in each race, see where your child is seeded, and whom your child is competing against.  They are well worth the cost!
When you arrive, please ask where you can help during the meet!  Many of you have signed our volunteer list, but even if you haven’t, rest assured, WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Parental involvement is the key to a successful meet.  With parents helping, our meets will run quickly and smoothly, and there are less distractions and delays for the swimmers.
